Friends

It's been a while since I got that "right one time" phone call. You know, the one that interrupts your sadness and makes you smile. And It doesn't have to be so dramatic - it could just be that you missed your bus and train and someone called and talks to you while you wait. But the key is that you can't make the phone call. And no, I'm not talking about a text message. It seems that nowadays we are all afraid of hearing each others voices. It's like somehow, a phone call has become too personal? (I'm sorry, but facebook, twitter, or aim can never replace spoken conversation)

But all this got me thinking about friends and their roles in my life. I think I can put most of my friends in different categories.

I have friends who seem to only be interested in my life when it's drama filled. And isn't that normal? I mean, drama is exciting, isn't it? It's human nature- I think. But the bigger question is: do I do this? I try to stay interested in the good things going on in my friends' lives and stay supportive.

I have friends who like my ADD and silliness (or who think it's entertaining). And that's it. It's a problem if I'm not smiling, or not bouncing off the walls, and chances are they won't stick around long enough to find out what's wrong (if there even is anything wrong).



umm okay I'm feeling sicker than I did when I started this post, so I'm gonna have to continue tomorrow. Please PLEASE don't be the flu...even though this fever is stating otherwise....

shoot.
